Description

These Spiderweb Brownies are fudgy, rich, and decorated with a chocolate ganache and white chocolate spider web design. Perfect for Halloween brownies, spooky desserts, and kids’ Halloween treats.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour

3/4 cup (86 g) Dutch-process cocoa powder

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup + 2 tbsp (196 g) melted butter or refined coconut oil

1 1/2 cups (300 g) granulated sugar or coconut sugar

1 tbsp vanilla extract

3 large eggs, room temperature

1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk

1/2 cup (85 g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

Optional: candy eyes, sprinkles, or chopped nuts


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

3. In a large bowl, stir melted butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.

5. Fold dry mixture into wet mixture until just combined (don’t overmix).

6. Spread batter in pan and bake for 15–20 minutes, until edges set and center is slightly soft.

7. Cool brownies at room temperature for 1 hour, then chill for another hour before cutting.

8. For ganache: warm cream until steaming, pour over chopped semi-sweet chocolate, let sit 10 minutes, then stir smooth.

9. Melt white chocolate and transfer to a piping bag with a fine tip.

10. Spread ganache over each brownie, pipe a spiral of white chocolate, then drag a toothpick from center outward to form spiderwebs.

11. Let brownies set until firm before serving.

Notes

Don’t overbake — the brownies should be fudgy, not dry. Chill before decorating for neat spiderwebs. For dairy-free, substitute coconut milk in ganache. Store brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for 3 months.
